I was hoping to see some usage of the RFC for Coffee Pot communication. Sadly, that was missing from the story, but the story does not disappoint.



IPoCP can experience a very high jitter rate.


Also susceptible to buffer under/overflows


HTCPCP was published in the late 1990s, whereas IBM-Microsoft collaboration on OS/2 was in the late 1980s to early 1990s.



Read the RFC! It's Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol, and 418 is an _error_ because you shouldn't be brewing coffee in a teapot.
